Unlikely: A love across the political divide
How did a right-wing influencer and a former guerrilla fall in love?
Catalina and Jorge were born on the same day: 14 June. They also share a surname and, at one point, attended neighbouring schools. But that is where the similarities end.
They hold radically different political views in a country that has endured Latin America's longest running and most violent internal conflict.
Catalina, 36, was born in Bogotá. She is a right-wing influencer and a staunch admirer of former Colombian president Álvaro Uribe.
Jorge, 42, was born in a guerrilla camp. He is the son of Mono Jojoy, one of the FARC's most senior commanders, and spent 16 years fighting in the jungle.
Their paths crossed at a karaoke party. What follows is an unlikely love story across a deep political divide.
